Upon unveiling the Nexus 5 as the first device running Android 4.4 KitKat to the public, Google promised to bring the update to the recent variants of Nexus devices as well as Google Play editions of Galaxy S4 and HTC One pretty soon. If you have a Nexus 7 (2012 or 2013 Wi-Fi-only edition) or Nexus 10, you’re going to be among the first lucky ones in this regard, as Google has just started rolling out the update to these tablets. If you don’t want to wait for the official OTA update to hit your device and would prefer to take things into your own hands, you can grab the update files from Google’s servers and flash them to your tablet directly, and that’s what we’ll be walking you through in this post. So, read on and get KitKat up and running on your Nexus 7 or 10 tablet right away.
